These words concluded the outer spell with which MancebíaPostigo called the extra-terrestrial spirits to participate in their Galician-galactic queimada last Thursday 22nd. The PensadoresBailando’s sorcerer cooks, who relied on the collaboration of the sound artist Jaco, invoked the forces of space while cooking the magic potion. Finally, the audience could taste the delicious concoction, thus freeing itself from the evil of the universe. The gastro-stellar exhibition Pulp à Feira concluded in this tremendous way.

When the alien cooks started cooking the octopus á feira, around 8pm of last April 19th, most of the terrestrial visitors had already stared at the three sections making up the Pulp á Feira exhibition, by MancebíaPostigo: the rare musical and philosophical associations of Pensadores Bailando, the sound produced by recipes when they are cooked according to the traditional way in a small Galician village of Recetario Sónico Popular and Exococina or how to gastronomically receive alien visitors. Once the water started boiling, a sweet cephalopod smell invaded the GTS headquarters acting as a magnet for the audience that congregated around the ceremony kitchen while listening to how a Galician octopus preparation sounds thanks to the intervention of sound artist Jaco and while they tested several galactically-made liquors. This exhibition can be visited from Monday to Thursday (non-public holidays) between 11am and 1:30am, in addition to during the Encounters in the Space-Time events.

The Àgape laboratory has been exploring the occult practice of synaesthesia several years now with a warning that reads: do not try this at home. This time the ceremony will once again immerse itself in darkness exploring the esoteric facets of futurist painter Luigi Russolo author of the L’Arte dei Rumori manifesto (The art of noises) which is in its centennial year. A centennial we fear won’t be celebrated by the cultural institutions of the country. Even so, Gràcia Territori Sonor has dedicated an important part of its efforts to do so this 2013 and the culmination will be with Marco Bellonzi and Coàgul (Marc O’Callaghan) in the Àgape gastronomical-metaphysical-conceptual initiation ritual that brings the spectator closer to a syncretic experience in which viands, sounds, aromas and subliminal images provoke a vivid synaesthesia.
